Mr. Speaker, I am rising today to present a petition on behalf not only of my constituents but of all Canadians
Petitioners call upon the government to protect Canadian media from undue foreign interference and influence, by initiating a formal review of foreign media ownership, introducing stricter rules to prevent foreign entities from holding and controlling interests in Canadian media, and requiring public reporting disclosure for foreign ownership stakeholders in the Canadian media. The petition has garnered over 17,000 signatures in a short period of time.
I would also like to thank Guard the Leaf for its diligence regarding this petition.
